The band's first self-titled CD was released in 1997 and captured the raw and untapped side of GTO. The disc first included many fan favorites like "Bonecrusher" and "Fast Talkin' Girl." Recorded in the basement of what was once an Omaha beauty school, the self-titled release was only the beginning.

Hey bonecrusher.
Am I what you wanted? Am I what you expected?
Hey ballbreaker.
I'd say my soul is haunted, my aim misdirected.
Hey teen-ager.
I'd say the meat's infested, half of you have been
molested.
Hey lovemaker.
Only loving what you need, 'cause it feels good.
Only loving what you need.
Crushing bones can kill your speed.
Cut you up but you won't bleed.
Crushing bones can make you feel alright.
Hey bonecrusher.
So cool I'm cold.
So cold my body's shakin'.
And there's no one in the world.
Life has lost its meaning.
I'm always somewhere in between.
Do you love yourself?
Do you love yourself?
Now my will is gone and it's all
I had and it's everything I gave, aw you dirty little
liar. What I thought you'd give was the air I breathe
but you took my breath away, when you set my world
afire.

She gotta whole lotta money. Said
I was her honey. Put me on an airplane. Wrapped
me up in cellophane. It was a new sensation. I held
her hand at the station. Though her world was not
mine to live in.
I couldn't wait for her to tell me
that she loved me dearly. I couldn't wait for her
to say that nothing's wrong. But the hardest thing
I've ever had to do in my life, was to think of
what it means for her to tell me...
She gotta whole lotta secret. Well
I said I could keep it. Told me 'bout the time when,
had me sweatin' at the end. And though I know she
doesn't mean it, when she says I should of seen
it. Though her world was not mine to live in.
I'm no saint dear but it always brings
me down, to another pretty woman in a tight-ass
skirt gone cryin' 'bout everything.
I'm no slave dear but what goes
must come around. So I listen to the body of water
telling my soul I am a lucky, lucky man.

Bright 'ol boy came, a walk into
the desert. Said his glass was empty, am I water?
Hold me closer my life, bring me to a love I endure.
So he asked me how much further, to the place of
serendipity.
Stay here tonight bright 'ol boy,
I'm no fast talkin' girl.
Save my city my country is dead,
in these times when the oasis is poisoned by the
animals. Don't give pity, choose to love her instead.
How am I to distinguish?
I was never part of the plan to throw
the world over. I live by a code of a self-proposed
law and order. All I ever asked of the plan was
to let me be.
Stay here tonight bright 'ol boy,
I'm no fast talkin' girl.
There was a fire, swept the earth,
taking all great creatures down with it. There was
a water, swept the earth, but all great creatures
rise to the occasion. It's only water, but I wish
to do more than tread water until I die. And if
there's no memory of this life, you better move
along.
I was never part of the plan to throw
the world over. I live by a code of a self-proposed
law and order. All I ever asked of the plan was
to let me be. Every single day's a cool dip into
the water hole. When I'm baking bread you better
bet that my wheat is whole. All I ever saw in me
was what I do. I'm you.
Stay here tonight bright 'ol boy,
I'm no fast talkin' girl.

A man came from the mountain, a lesson
to us all, 'cause we never had to listen to him
whine. But to keep the people guessin', he ridiculed
them all, and so they left him, so they said, "Are
you out there? Are you listening to what I have
been sayin'?"
Sink or swim.
All that he was thinking while a
writing down his poems was a hopin' we would love
him when he's gone. I nearly lost it, when an angel,
put me in my places.
OooWee, I dream that I can hide,
but I can't run. OooWee, I swear by the light of
the sun I'll be your tommy gun.
I'll show you yours, you show me
mine, and we'll go window shopping. From ocean floors
to open skies, it's just like island hopping. A
change of heart can change my mind, I don't know
what you're wanting. I know the truth can set you
. . .

So much shit been sown in my soil.
But I know the better half of me. If these possessions
lost their only worth, and the bitter light became
a part of me.
But the same is true for you is true
for me.
Rape but rape can't do you any good,
in your search for variety. If sight were sound
and sound the spoken word, would be a happy ending
to the life of me.
The same is true for you is true
for me.
And the better half is who we're supposed to be.
There was this philosophy: a cube
to whoever came. The game is the same to me, but
I don't play that way. So we learn our lessons from
the scars that come from truth. And I will never
give in while the stars remain in my view.
'Cause I don't care what the people
say, 'cause what they do and what they say are two
different things!
And it hurts me so fucking bad well
I said, "No way!"
So much need been knead in my dough.
But I do not eat in quantity. My sight is sound
and sound the spoken word. Give the gracious gift
of God through quality.

Little dog, sitting in the shadow
of a big dog, sitting in the shadow of a bigger
dog, sitting in the shadow of me. They're my best
friends, love me unconditionally.
Love me do. How 'bout you. Will you
love me too?
You got my name and my number, why
don't you call me? Aw, you son-of-a-bitch you set
me free.
And I'm afraid of every single day.
But my heart is true in almost every way.
Stellar history of ours has been
revered, by a time when man was on the move. Celestial
guardians have made it clear, that though our lives
go on and on, well it still ain't fair.
Head in hand he hath but one eye
to, gauge a distance 'tween the stars. And looking
back down he said, "Who are you, to save my
home?"
And it's a beautiful thing, babe,
catch a ride for free. Like my grandma Grubb says,
"Criminately!"

This might begin to turn our world
around. And bliss, the final sin, believe it won't
happen if I'm around.
And life, our greatest need, sit
down and you will feel its speed pass you by, bye.
And love, our hidden cause, given and received it's
not hard for me to believe.
But it does blow my mind and body
apart but brings 'em back together stronger. Life
has taught me to start so we can sing and chill
together longer.
A ray of sunshine come through my
head, well I imagine. And a day in the life of some
of my days, well it's pain without medicine.
So dream the greatest dream and awake
people and it will seem as the dream was not as
it used to seem to be back then.
Respect me I'm energy, and I'll
respect you in synergy, it's not hard for me to
believe...
